horrible challenge by Lue

WB is a 50% ft shooter. AG playing injured, Murray playing sick, Jokic playing non-stop in the second half - why give them a breather? not to mention, there was a clear foul lol

I think they think that Westbrook traveled on his initial move.

They want a short series so they'll make tens of millions less dollars, probably...?

No doubt in my mind now that Denver is the better team but it's almost impossible to win games with the kind of mental mistakes they're making tonight.

I think 3 and 6 are also make for pretty intense series.

Aside from Houston this year, generally speaking the top 2 seeds in each conference is a cut above the remaining seeds, with not all that much separating seeds 3 - 6

Lue really needs to avoid any seconds on the court without one of Ben or James.

And yeah, replay, horrid challenge there. I take it back.
